Gospel Clowning
Christian Clowning with Kracked-Pot the Clown
Established - September 1997
WELCOME to CLOWN CENTRAL !!!
My name is Rev. Tami Wenger and I started The Gloryland Clown Ministry, based in West Liberty, Ohio in 1997. I am a member of McKees Creek Chapel in West Liberty.
I am not a Children's Entertainer nor a babysitter. I have a Clown Ministry, and I share God's word with folks of all ages, children and adults alike!
On July 22, 2007, I was voted to be the Volunteer Youth Pastor at my Chruch! God is great!
I have always been a clown at heart and being a clown minister I accomplish a two-fold mission of lifting people's spirits by making them laugh, as well as sharing God's words with others.
GCM Characters
My first clown personality is: "PUTT-PUTT the Clown."
Her favorite Bible Verse is; "With GOD all things are possible." Matthew 19:26
She is a White Face Clown that loves spreading God's word, " Clown Style."
My balloon twister name is: "AUNT TWISTER."
She was created in January of 2001, loves to share smiles and her balloon sculpters with children and the young at heart.
My storyteller name is: "MISS TALLULAH.

An elderly lady, created in December of 2001, who loves to tell stories about Jesus and His love for you.
My new designing character's name is: "TATUM TAILOR."
She is a Clothes Fashion Designer, or so she thinks!
New for 2003, Tatum will help you make over your exterior look and her silent partner, Jesus Christ, will help make over your interior look.
For 2005, new clown character; "KRACKED- POT THE CLOWN."
She will tell you to "Bloom where you are planted so you can grow in the Lord!"
I have several family members who helped me create the name and I'd like to thank them for their support.

Did you know that GOD uses Cracked Pots? He sure does!
